Bernie emailed me this morning to invite me to join Irishblogs - a new group set up on Yahoo! Groups.
The group description
People from Ireland or in Ireland who have blogs, cross-links, and threads worth sharing.
sounded reasonably interesting so I thought I’d wander on by and check it out.
However, when I went to the site, the page came up blank!
I checked it in Safari and it worked fine, so it only appeared to be a Firefox issue - strange! I went back to Firefox, disabled all the extensions and re-started it - no good. I deleted the cache - no good. I deleted cookies - no good, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get in.
It was only when TwentyMajor advised me to:
check there are no proxy settings in Firefox.
that I got anywhere. I have a proxy manually set in Firefox. This is because there are certain sites I can only view when I have the Proxy turned on (i.e. Googlerankings).
Now, it seems, there are certain sites I can only view with the proxy settings turned off - this is going to be fun!
Tom,
Maybe try this: http://mozmonkey.com/switchproxy/ . It’ll make changing between proxies and non proxies easier I think. Not tried it myself though.
Damien.
Hi Damien,
thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded and installed the plugin but I have had to disable it. It made Firefox too unstable and slow.
Pity, it did seem like a handy way to get over this issue,
Cheers,
Tom
